Meet your Writer: Drew Byous
My name is Drew Byous, 23 years old, from St. Louis, Missouri. I’m a senior at the University of Kentucky, graduating in May. I have been a Kentucky fan and proud member of Big Blue Nation since I was a little kid.
I have a deep passion for Sports Journalism and Media, and I’m excited to continue to grow on this platform.
You can also catch me multiple times a week on the two shows I contribute to: Round of Shots and Heavy Pour Sports.
